The 42 Heat Race winners made the trip to Tulsa from 11 states with Oklahoma drivers taking 17 wins. Indiana followed with six, then California with four, Texas with three, with Pennsylvania and Alabama each taking a pair of wins. Colorado, Nebraska, North Carolina, and Washington drivers also earned Heat Race wins.

During the opening night, five drivers were disqualified after testing for illegal fuel. After further review, an error in the test was found and those disqualifications have been overturned.

Speaking with Lucas Oil Tulsa Shootout Director, Matt Ward, he stated, "The rules need to be enforced, but they also need to be enforced accurately. We found an error in the test and had to fine tune it. We never want to take anything away from anyone based on a mistake. We are human, it happens, but we can also fix it. Our apologies to the drivers who were wrongfully disqualified. Once we figured out the issue, we didn't have any problems from there on."
